Abstract
Changes in the adherence, opsonization, phagocytosis, nitroblue tetrazolium reduction and antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity of peritoneal macrophages were observed with aging in BALB/C mice. A decrease in all the parameters studied, except for the reduction capacity of nitroblue tetrazolium, which increased with aging, was found in the long-lived mice. The role of the macrophage in immune hyporesponsiveness with aging is discussed.Entities:
